【搬运】关于Queer Eye的有趣故事

Part 1—— "Queer Eye" Facts That Will Make You Love It Even More

1. Karamo（黑人小哥）has been on TV before – he was the first openly gay black man on The Real World on MTV.

2. Most of the cast met at a huge audition.

3. There's a reason Jonathan always asks heroes how long they spend on their hair when on camera.

4. Neal from Episode 2 now texts Antoni photos of his meals.

5. Tan didn't submit an application for the show – the producers found him on social media.

And he didn't really want to be cast, he told ET: "The first day I cried because it was so terrifying for me, because I was the kind of guy that didn't really like to get his photo taken. I thought that they weren't going to cast me because I made it very clear to the person that told me I got this job,……I went to the audition because I thought I would make some gay friends. I never thought that I would get a job." （哈哈哈，不喜欢被拍照的Tan本来参加大型面试只是为了结交好基友，没想到被选上了）

6. The people the Fab Five make over in the show are called "heroes."

9. In a cute twist, Antoni was the personal chef to the first food guide on Queer Eye.

10. Jonathan's definition of "grooming" is based on body positivity.

He told Vulture: "If you have body hair, I’m like, 'Have your body hair. Have it sticking up the top of your shirt.' I’m really about body positivity and self-love." （对于体毛是自然主义者啊~）

11. Bobby worked seven days a week to get the houses ready. And because his role means he has to order in items, he gets a heads-up in advance.

He told Architectural Digest: "While my Fab brothers often had three to four days off a week, some weeks, depending on what we were building, I worked seven days a week." (心疼不能和姐妹们一起玩的Bobby，装修最辛苦了，但是他真的好棒！）

13. They really didn't know what was happening when the cop car pulled them over in Episode 3.

He told Vulture: "There are two who I still chat with regularly on Instagram and they both have, even now, long-lasting changes." （好像不同的小哥in touch的嘉宾有些不同，有几个嘉宾会在ins和Twitter上分享自己的动态）

21. AJ from Episode 4 sold his house after they made it over.

Bobby told Architectural Digest: "About two weeks after we filmed that episode, I texted him [AJ], 'Hey, how's the house going? Does it feel like home yet?' He texts, 'It sold already.' I was like, 'What?' His boyfriend Dre had a house, so AJ moved in with him and they put the condo on the market."

（这个是real吃惊，节目里唯一改造的一个gay：黑人土木小哥AJ搬去男友Dre家了，然后把改造后的，还带有秋千的美丽的房子卖掉了……）

22. Karamo has an important stipulation in his contract.

He told AU Magazine: "I’m all about being representation and living my dreams. I make sure that in my contract they must hire two to three gay Africa-Americans to be on crew. I’ve done that now on the past three shows that I’ve been on and that’s important for me."

（Karamo也太好了吧*2！在包括Queer在内的参加过得三个真人秀里都要求节目组同时雇佣两到三个非裔美国gay）

23. Karamo also runs an HIV awareness organization called 6 in 10.

He told AU Magazine: “My background is in psychotherapy and I’m a licensed social worker, so I thought why not start something where we can address the mental health of black gay and bisexual men who are being infected or affected by HIV. That was a big thing for me because I’m negative but dated many men who were positive. But when I come across some men who are negative, for some reason they don’t think it is our issue. That always blows my mind because if it affects one then it affects all of us.”

（Karamo也太好了吧*3！作为一个有心理治疗专业背景而且有社工证书的人，身体力行地成立了提高黑人gay和双性恋中艾滋意识的组织）

24. Joe, the comedian from Episode 7, took his website down after the show.

Karamo told BuzzFeed: "But he took [his website] down! He said, ‘I’m not sure if I’m ready for that point in my career.’ I was like, ‘I’m building you this because in a matter of months, millions of people are gonna see you and flock to your website.’ And he took it down."

Part 2—— The "Queer Eye" Transformations That Were The Most Challenging

Grooming: Neal, Episode 2, "Saving Sasquatch"

Interior Design: Bobby, Episode 5, "Camp Rules"

Food and Wine: Tom, Episode 1, "You Can't Fix Ugly"

I wasn’t too familiar with [the condition]. There’s [a history of] autoimmune disease in my family so I know a little bit about inflammatory foods and a diet approach to treating [them].

Tom is a guy who eats a three-pepper burrito every day, and peppers are a nightshade. He smokes [and] tobacco is also a nightshade, I had no idea! He drinks jalapeño margaritas, which have peppers — [he was doing] all the worst things he could possibly be doing for himself." —Antoni Porowski

Culture: Joe, Episode 7, "Below Average Joe"

"My most challenging episode is one that kind of flies under the radar, which is Joe Gallois. For me, [the show] was all about being comfortable and breaking out of your shell, and even though Neal was resistant, he was a little more comfortable because he had [Tan] and he could relate. But Joe could not relate to any of us.

He was just like, 'I’m scared. I don’t wanna do this. I would rather be living next to my mom and dad for the rest of my life.' And for us to get him out of that in such a short time, and to see him blossom and get a girl, it was [great].

But he took [his website] down! He said, 'I’m not sure if i’m ready for that point in my career.' I was like, 'I’m building you this because in a matter of months, millions of people are gonna see you and flock to your website.' And he took it down." —Karamo Brown

Fashion: Neal, Episode 2, "Saving Sasquatch"

（前面也提到过，有巴基斯坦血统的Tan和印度裔Neal很能产生共鸣，关于家庭习俗，观念等等……）

"Mine was also Neal, because of the fact that he was originally so resistant to being touched, being loved. The others, you could tell they were so desperately wanting a change in their lives, but Neal seemed a little hesitant at first.

But that was the biggest transformation — not just physically, but emotionally. That was my proudest moment." —Tan France

1）Queer Eye is extremely good for your mental health if you’re in the mood for people just being genuinely really fucking lovely to each other

2） Queer eye is better for my mental health than my therapist was

Jonathan和Tan等等可以说是花式夸人~

要关爱自己，要给自己留出时间。

Twitter评论： The new Queer Eye is like...a body positive hug wrapped up in an embrace that deconstructs toxic masculinity and sometimes that Antoni guy is like hey this is how you cut an avocado

从外到内再从内到外的feeling good

The first time you see a guy cry on this show it seems strange. By the third time, however, you realise what is actually strange is the fact we simply don’t see guys open up like this on TV often enough.

Twitter的评论：

I’m really not into reality TV but Queer Eye is actually kinda sweet and all about breaking up toxic masculinity and helping men be vulnerable and connect with others
